Re: 2 HARD DRIVES, CONFIGURATION

I have posted this question in a number of forums and have received different answers, some say sample library on drive 2 others, say use the main drive!!

My pagefile is on drive 2 and all my projects will be saved on drive 2 as well. My logic is, as I am recording my projects I will be reading from the main hard drive (OS and where my samples will be stored) then writing to my second hard drive (Where my projects will be saved).

I already have 2 gigs of ram so my paging file should not be an issue. GPO should not be an issue either because the samples are stored in RAM. But when using other applications, such as Kontakt, etc, where samples may not be stored in memory, wondering what hard drive set up will be the best (For 2 identical hard drives 72oo rpm)

Lee,

when the system dirve has been defined as in this case Drive C:, the RAM writes back and forth to that drive only. The 2nd hard drive is untouched by any application requests associated with the software.
